“Yee Haa! Cowboy Cabin!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2008
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed at Dinosaur Trail over the 4th of July weekend. We drove four hours to get there, and even though I received a speeding ticket near Waco that glitch didn't diminish from the wonderful time! We stayed three nights, and the first night (Thursday, July 3rd) we were the only guests. This meant that we had wonderful personal service from our hosts. The homemade cookies and fruit were yummy and most welcome (I'll admit, we didn't eat a lot of fruit, and the cookies didn't last long).

We had excellent breakfasts that really started our day in the Granbury area. We stayed in the Cowboy cabin, which was stocked with Western movies, done up in a western motif, and even had a picture of The Duke on the nightstand. I even read The Working Cowboys Manual while I was there (while I haved lived in Texas for over 30 years, I was born in New York). The cabin was memorable and we loved it. We even watched Red River! We'd like to come back and try the Jurassic cabin next time. We hiked the dinosaur trail several times and enjoyed the beauty of the area.

Not even 100 degree temperatures could take away from the wonderful time we had! We had a fun and event-filled weekend that we didn't want to end.

  • Liked — Christian atmosphere, gracious hosts.
  • Disliked — The only thing I can think of was proximity to a highway. It got a little noisy on the 4th of July.

“Perfect for a large family!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2005

people found this review helpful

We had a great stay in this cabin. Our family has a hard time finding a place to stay with six children. This was an ideal place for us. Our children loved the playground and 1/4 mile walk through Dino Trail. What a great opportunity for our children to learn about God's creatures while spending family time together. The cabin was full of amenities for everyone; from reading books to watching movies, playing cards to whirlpool baths, building puzzles to dancing with Dad to the oldies on there beautiful record player. The owners did a great job making us feel at home and providing extra treats for our family (cakes, cookies, sodas, and breakfast). This is an excellent cabin for a large family and close enough to visit Fossil Rim and Dinosaur State Park. What a great weekend to end the summer! Thanks.

“'Dino'mite”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2005

person found this review helpful

This was a very unique b&b in a very unique town. Granbury is a great historic town with a lot of personality. Dinosaur Trails and its unique personality fits right in. Great location on the lake with fabulous 'dinosaur' walking trails - very educational. Oh the snacks were to die for! The bed was soooo cozy! The 'Pink Rose' cottage divine!

“Loved the Cowboy Cabin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2005

person found this review helpful

The cowboy cabin was awesome, got a great nights sleep, liked the fact that they had a VCR on the TV. Granbury is a cool town with an old time square and lots of cool stuff at the stores. The trail at the b & b was nice. Good food too. The lake is close too (about 100 yards or less) and can be seen from the trail.

“What a wonderful place to stay !!Thanks for the tip”

I can't begin to tell you how much my husband, my grandchildren and myself enjoyed our stay at the Dinosaur Trail B&B. The owners were so thoughtful and helpful an their place is clean, unique, comfortable, and lots of fun. They thought of everything to make our visit great. It was so nice to find a place we can enjoy and that not only accepts kids but is fun and educational for them too! Granbury is a wonderful town and we can't wait to return. Thank you for the tip on the cabins, we couldn't have found a better place to stay. Pam White
